我觉得，现在的溯源工作有点像破案，有很多扑朔迷离的线索。需要慧眼，排除各种“乱花渐欲迷人眼”的表面问题，从各种迹象中找出实质，既不能冤枉好人，也不能放过坏人。所有值得研究的线索都应该抓住。现在有些西方国家拼命干扰科学家工作。这种政治干扰，是非常不严肃、不负责任的。
I think the origin-tracing is a bit like solving a criminal case, and there are a lot of confusing clues. It is necessary to eliminate all kinds of superficial issues and find out the essence from all kinds of signs. We can neither wrong a good man nor spare a bad man. All the clues that are worth investigating should be closely grasped. Some Western countries are now trying to interfere with the work of scientists. Such political interference is highly irresponsible and frivolous.
我们还是主张把这项工作交给科学家去做，不要有任何政治干扰，不要有任何政治偏见。这才是应有的负责任态度，这才是对人类负责任的态度。让科学家找出问题真正出在哪里，今后我们才可以更有效去应对。
We still maintain that this work should be left to scientists, without any political interference or bias. This is a responsible attitude we should assume, towards the whole mankind. Let scientists figure out what the problem really is so we can deal with it more effectively in the future.
